The engagement of our team in developing the EU legal framework for corporate responsibility, transparency and accountability is based on drawing the necessary knowledge from experts, as well as establishing constructive dialogue with multiple actors representing varied perspectives. I believe this approach to work is key to building a resilient path towards systemic change.
Susanna leads in the implementation of the advocacy strategy on topics connected to corporate ESG reporting. She coordinates the Alliance for Corporate Transparency, an initiative set up by Frank Bold in 2019 to bring together civil society and progressive voices to advance the EU legal framework, standards and practice for companies’ disclosure of their sustainability risks and impacts. She also manages the strategic engagement with stakeholders in the EU and globally together with her colleagues.
Susanna is a graduate of the journalism program at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in Spain, and joined the Responsible Companies team in Brussels in 2015.
The European Commission, Parliament and Council reached an agreement for the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) that clarifies disclosure obligations for large companies and listed SMEs, and mandates the development and adoption of mandatory EU corporate sustainability reporting standards.
As part of its strategy to implement the European Green Deal and the Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth, the European Commission presented its proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).
Following months of negotiations in the European Parliament, the amendments to the CSRD proposal have been approved by the JURI committee this Tuesday 15th of March.
